Pingdom Reviews

Pingdom is the best, quickest, easiest to use and from what I can tell the best designed in it's class.

My only issue with Pingdom has always been the cost. It was always too excessive for me to use since I monitor hundreds of sites.

Pingdom is monitoring my websites, I get alerts whenever anything goes wrong so I can take action before if effects my visitors.

The main function of this great tool is to measure the loading speed of a website, but the truth has helped me a lot when it comes to optimizing our website, since it tells me page by page what are the errors that must be corrected to increase the loading speed. The truth is very useful and you can measure the loading speed from different servers in North America, Europe and South America.

I really like this tool, the only thing I would add is to be able to compare the performance of different websites.

The software is very intuitive for first setup and "maintenance". In addition, going over the gathered data is simple and you can see the status "in a glance". The integration with Slack is also great.

For a simple URL-pings monitoring - I don't see any disadvantage with this product. Maybe it's less suitable if you need more complex monitoring.

Pingdom is one of those applications that you should keep in mind when developing websites. You can get a full report on the errors found on your page and dozens of useful tips to improve the loading speed. What I like the most is that it not only tells you what mistakes you have, but how you can improve them. You can also schedule the analyzes and obtain a report on how your website works during the days. Even in its free version it allows you to do so, with the limitation of only one site per account.

I can only complain about the way they present errors, a little more order would not be wrong.

Has a good set of free tools for analyzing website speed. Pricing is favorable compared to competitors. Has some great features for ecommerce sites.

Although the pricing is generally affordable, the service is priced in tiers which have a relatively big jump between them. Some competitor pricing models are more granular.

Me servía para controlar que las webs no estuvieran caídas y el tiempo de respuesta

Desde hace unos años han hecho cambios que lo único que han conseguido es estropear el servicio. Además la app es un auténtico desastre.

I like that pingdom integrates with Slack, We use this plugin to determine whether or not our site goes down and when it goes back up.

Really can't think of anything negative, however I wish it gave more detailed notifications about what caused the outage in the detailed reports.

I've been using buffer to test website load times and the results provided by pingdom is the most accurate ones i've ever come across.

There should be more test locations to choose from. Currently, there are only 4 test locations and that doesn't really make the tool comprehensive enough.

This software saved us many times when we launched our new site.

A bit complicated to set up but well worth it.

The ability to setup alerts and see historical data of the uptime of our websites. It allows us to know when our website is down before our customers yell at us.

This software does exactly what it needs to do but nothing more. It is a fairly narrow purpose but useful.

Track and monitor update for web base applications. Pingdom can alert you moments after your website/software platform becomes unresponsive. The best part is that Pingdom can send you text messages when an outage is detected.

When our company made some internal changes we set up a new Pingdom account and for some unknown reason the system triggered false positives saying one of our sites was down, when in fact it was up and working normally. The funny thing is that this problem didn't exist on our old Pingdom account

The ability to test from multiple locations at short intervals. Very easy to change monitoring and customise alert threshold. Having this has allowed us switch on and off ppc campaigns if the clients website goes down, saving the clients hundreds of pounds.

Although the free solution gives a good introduction, you really have to purchase the full version to get a true insight into performance.

-It allows you to customize alerts. -It also has a mobile app to check tests on the go. -The uptime monitoring service is useful to identify any issues that your website may be facing.

-You need to understand programming in order to use all the features. -It gets expensive if you have too many websites to monitor.

Pingdom is one of the original services (at least that I can remember) for ping uptime testing. Its uptime alerting is reliable and stable.

Unfortunately the price point just isn't competitive anymore, relative to the features they provide. They only offer 1 minute check intervals (I use a competitor that gets down to 30 second intervals), threshold alerting is only available on higher tier plans, and you can't pay per-check so the moment you cross 10 your plan price nearly triples.

Does a lot. Site monitoring, real-time visitor analytics, page speed and more. A full-featured software

Pingdom is too expensive. There are other services out there that will do basic uptime monitoring for free and page speed testing for free too. I don't believe the feature set is worth the cost.

Great way to monitor multiple networks. Very reliable and accurate when it comes to communicating a network outage. Easy to use.

There really is not anything I do not like about Pingdom. It does exactly what I expect and need it to do.

What I like the most is that I can select the server from where I want to do the performance test.

It doesn't give much information about some errors or items to be optimized.

I highly recommend using Pingdom, since it's interface is very easy to use and it shows very clearly what's wrong and actions to improve your website performance.

Nothing to really complain about this service, maybe they could improve the documentation about the improvements and insights on performance.

Since we started using it our website has been performing better, cause it made it easy to check on our pages and optimize them, making them faster to download, and more friendly to users.

It involves having a programmer who can help you with certain aspects of your page, so if you are not that much into code and programming it can be a bit hard to fully optimize or understand the statistics Pingdom gives you

The software works well. You give Pingdom the details and it'll do its job and notify you if there's downtime.

They charge way too much. I'm using a competitor product that does the same thing for 50% less.
